It features three beach volleyball courts built on 1,200 tons of sand.

City officials said the complex is the next step in revitalizing the Midtown area.

"There are so many different sports that families can bring their kids, they can participate, and they're just a little bit of a ways from downtown to relax and kick back after a hard day of activity," said Richard Multon, the city's public works director.

The complex has been open for about a month for league play. The city has already been able to double the number of league teams.
